Thus, its work is characterized by the relationship between the teacher and the student guided by a pedagogical proposal, which is oriented to the scientific culture considered fundamental. Hence, it becomes a formative and a scientific institution. Nevertheless, after four centuries of its significant role the crisis of the modernity compels this institution to face the need to reinvent, to which it must initiate a deep revision of basic referents, and assume the challenges imposed by the new historical conditions.
These conditions, however, have generated new possibilities for the school, since, as a form of new generations of citizens, it can resignify its referents and reorient its practices, in order to fulfill this goal; moreover, when the constitutional mandate has entrusted it with the mission of forming political subjects capable of realizing the utopia of democracy. In this sense, this work sought to analyze the role of the school in generating favorable conditions for the formation of political subjects in three educational institutions of the municipality of Pamplona, one of private and two public character, for which proposed to work the descriptive qualitative methodology, being considered the one that best fits this type of research and through the use of interviews, observation and the focus group, was obtained as a result, that although there has been progress in the subject, process of appropriation of the same, that allows the school to fulfill its mission to train the new generations of citizens.
